NOW that the curtain has come down on another fantastic season of Premier League football at Dean Court, I am sure I speak for thousands of local people and Cherries fans from all over the world when I say a huge thank you to Eddie Howe, Geoff Mostyn and all the players and coaching staff for the brilliant football and excitement they have delivered over the past season.

No matter what the result we always see every Cherries player giving their all with a never-say-die attitude.

It is great to see new exciting talent such as Lewis Cook committing himself to our team and we look forward to more young emerging players coming through the ranks.

Bournemouth is proud of you all and we look forward to the future with great optimism.
